Abstract
Apart from military laser rangers, electro-optical EDM instruments need a device at the target station which reflects the light (or infrared) beam back to the instrument. Reflecting devices should have the following properties:
-
1.
good reflectivity
-
2.
complete illumination of the receiver optics of the instrument
-
3.
no change direction of emerging rays through small movements of the reflecting device, thus rendering a continuous alignment unnecessary.
